Research summary
AI-generated

Li-Chun Tu's research develops tools that combine CRISPR-based genome targeting with advanced imaging (like super-resolution microscopy) to visualize and manipulate how DNA and proteins are organized inside living cells. This work touches on chromatin structure, nuclear architecture, and engineering new molecular tags and platforms for studying gene regulation in real time. The lab also explores applications ranging from yeast gene control to identifying natural products from genomic data.
